You finally have your own sanctuary to call home here in Hawaii. Suddenly experiencing a Termite Infestation can quickly turn your dream home into a nightmare. These tiny, destructive and invasive pests can cause extensive damage to the structure of your house if not dealt with promptly and effectively. When facing a termite problem, one of the critical decisions you will find yourself having to make is choosing the right Termite Control Company to handle the situation.


Understanding the Pitfalls of Subcontracting


Imagine this scenario: you hire a reputable termite company to eradicate the termites infesting your home. However, instead of sending their own trusted and trained technicians, they subcontract the job to an external party. This practice of subcontracting termite work can lead to various issues that you, as a homeowner, should be aware of.


One of the primary concerns with subcontracting termite work is the lack of accountability, especially when it comes to such a large investment like your home or place of business. When a company subcontracts a job, there is often a disconnect between the homeowner, the original company, and the subcontracted technicians. This lack of direct oversight can result in miscommunications, delays, and, most importantly, a lack of accountability if something goes wrong during the termite treatment process.


Another significant drawback of hiring a termite company that subcontracts its work is the potential for quality control issues as well as over priced services. The subcontracted technicians may not adhere to the same high standards and protocols that the company you intended to hire follows. As a result, the quality of the termite treatment may vary significantly, compromising the effectiveness of the treatment and potentially leaving your home vulnerable to future infestations. This can cost you money in the long run, by hiring a trusted Termite Professional like Absolute Termite & Pest Control Hawaii you can ensure your home has a trusted 5 year warranty with a company that cares.


Effective communication is a major key to successful termite treatment. When a termite company subcontracts its work, there is a higher likelihood of communication breakdowns between the different parties involved. Misunderstandings regarding the scope of work, scheduling conflicts, or lack of follow-up can hinder the overall efficacy of the termite control process.


The Benefits of Choosing a Company with In-House Technicians And Servicing


To ensure that your termite problem is addressed efficiently and effectively, it is best to choose a termite control company like Absolute Termite & Pest Control Hawaii that employs in-house technicians. By opting for a company that handles the work internally, you can benefit from:


  • Direct Accountability: With in-house technicians, there is a clear line of accountability, ensuring that any issues that arise during the termite treatment process are promptly addressed by the company itself.

  • Consistent Quality: Companies that rely on their own technicians typically maintain higher standards of quality control. This consistency in service delivery can give you peace of mind that the termite treatment will be executed to a high standard.

  • Smooth Communication: In-house technicians are likely to have better coordination and communication practices within the company. This leads to smoother interactions with the homeowner, clearer expectations, and a more streamlined termite treatment process.

  • Cost Effective Treatment:  You'll find that often times, when a company subcontracts their work, both companies need to make a profit. One makes the bulk of the money as they do the labor, and one makes a commission as they sell the customer. This trade works great for businesses, but not in the best interest of the customer alike. It is best to ask the company you're looking to hire if they do all of their own Termite Services, or if you should anticipate them subcontracting their labor to another Pest Control Company. You'll often find, you can get a cheaper rate from the direct company that is being subcontracted.
